It’s time for Kelli’s Show and Tell Friday. Today I want to share a special quilt. This was made by my husband’s grandmother, whom I never had the pleasure of knowing. She was quite the prolific quilter. I imagine that she would have loved my longarm! And, I think she would be thrilled to know that there is now another quilter in the family. I love the the fabrics in the quilt. I don’t think I could pick a favorite block.
Thanks for stopping by to see my show & tell item, and thanks to Kelli, for hosting.

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

This is a lovely quilt. I’ll have to come back and visit again. I’m thinking I will be better as a quilt admirer than a quilt-maker!

One of the best I’ve seen, too. I’m just assuming that she hand-quilted this. I don’t think they did any machine quilting then? I’m a little curious about that. I’m a hand-quilter myself.

Thank you, everyone, for all your nice comments on this quilt. I know my husband’s grandmother would be tickled. I want to clarify, she made this quilt in it’s entirety. I did not quilt it. She handquilted this.
